Day 1 (first day of period) to Day 7
Estrogen and testosterone riseToday’s Hormone Horoscope: Week 1 is the time to make Week 2 super-awesome. Since you know your estrogen and testosterone are going to be peaking next week, thereby, making you more upbeat, energetic, brainy, beautiful and just downright amazing, use Week 1 of your cycle to plan to take advantage of your high hormone phase, for instance, by looking for an exciting event to attend, starting a killer project, signing up for an open-mic night, asking a cutie out on a date or throwing a party!

Week 2Day 8 to Day 14 (or ovulation)
Estrogen and testosterone rise till they peakToday’s Hormone Horoscope: You may be more in a rush today, for instance, you may wolf down a meal, drive faster, pick up your pace as you walk or want a meeting/class/test/appointment to just end already! Point the blame to high estrogen and testosterone, which amp up your energy and make you want to go, go, go!

Week 3Day 15 (or the day after ovulation) to Day 22
Progesterone rises; estrogen and testosterone drop for half the week, then rise againToday’s Hormone Horoscope: You may have trouble making up your mind today. That’s a side effect of plunging estrogen and testosterone. As these hormones dip, they take down your confidence in your opinions and make it harder for you to commit to one choice.

Week 4Day 23 to the end of your cycle
Estrogen, testosterone and progesterone plungeToday’s Hormone Horoscope: Try not to let fears or anxieties about what may happen cloud your thoughts today. As estrogen plunges, you’re more prone to think about what could go wrong and this could prevent you from acing an interview, enjoying a trip or getting the digits of that cutie you’ve been eyeing.
